Thank you for your website. I cried through all the pictures, and I want
to help. What can I do?

Last year I went to a bull-fight in Mexico, only because my friends
dragged me there. I really didn't want to go, and once I was watching it
all, I couldn't believe what they were doing to the poor bulls. The poor
things were trapped, peeing from fright, and just trying to fight back for
their lives.

I saw one bull actually hit a matador, and I cheered. Good for the bull!

I have no respect for those matadors who make it their life to kill for
entertainment. People wanted their autographs afterwards, and they were
posing for pictures with blood on their costumes. I was disgusted. They
think they're so brave. I think the bulls had more bravery to face death the
way they did.

Mexicans say the matadors provide the meat for poor families. What a poor
excuse. I have since sworn against beef.

You should include bulls in your webpage.

Thank you and God Bless,

Karen Copeland

PS: Are free-range chickens okay? What about organic milk, etc. Are these
places really "humane"?

What about Kosher prepared meats? People say they're more humane. Thanks
in advance for your feedback.

Dear Karen:

Thank you for writing.

In the left column of all the animal exploitation subsection, we have
list of things people can do to help.

The key is to expose the truth and change public opinion.

We have some really graphic photos of a kosher slaughterhouse. All they
show in inhumanity. We have done a fair amount of investigating and haven't
found any farmed animals that are truly raised humanely, except on a
sanctuary, and none are slaughtered humanely.
